Thoughts on Men And Trees

Hello.  Welcome.  Well, as I promised no CAS projects today.  A birthday gift I made for my very good friend Elin.  I was fairly certain it would be well received.  We had seen this saying on a sign in a shop and had found it very amusing.  

I started by brayering yellow, orange and ocher paint onto a piece of card.  

Then I added red and black using a old credit card to make some swipes and lines.

I stamped Unity Stamp Co Chicken Wire background, There Was a boy, sentiments from Owl pals and Crafty Individuals Tea Tree onto white tissue paper.  If you are doing this technique use white, it keeps the colours clean, and you want the thin stuff without a wax coating.  I coloured my boy on the back using paint markers and then stuck him and lots of other bits of stamped tissue all over

I printed the sentiment on the computer and snipped it up.  I've inked the word edges to give shadow and definition.  

A black frame to finish.
